Another NCAA prospect in the system...Works for me!

From Hockey's future before the start of the 2013 season about Zalewski:

"One returning veteran who is poised to take a significant step this season is sophomore Mike Zalewski. The New Hartford, NY native finished tied for first on the team with 12 goals and finished fifth with 21 points in 36 games. Zalewski is the younger sibling of former San Jose Sharks draft pick and Clarkson standout, Steve Zalewski. The younger Zalewski has good size (6’2”, 210 lbs.), is fiercely competitive, and uses those attributes well in battles for loose pucks."

He is said to have potential as a solid and reliable bottom 6 NHL level player I read somewhere just now.

Number 19 in this video taken from the stands. During the last minutes of a game. Can see his positioning and skating some in the video.

An organization can never have too many bottom 6 players!

And if your the Canucks you can't sorry can have to many top 6 players.... No really you can only have one or two asking more than that is a little to much for MG.
